Horse and Sparrow Theory.

Raphael Ravenscroft for anyone wondering. His daughter Scarlett Raven is a successful visual artist combining traditional impressionist paintings with augmented reality.

I imagine either the “Oh God-mass God!” Version of the song either is the first version she learned whilst very young or she was taught this “fact” by someone who she trusts unquestioningly. It’s very hard to convince people to reasses beliefs they’ve taken on in that way. Maybe you could give up that dream and work on gently leading her to a compromise of doing a verse of each?

This sort of confusion is why I think we need to always define economic and social political positions separately rather than lump them together.

On the day it happend I watched the videos being shared by the people participating amongst each other. There were tremendously more than 200 people.

This kinda just feels like “what single question would you ask ChatGPT if it was omniscient” so my mind is just getting lost in the arcane and complex structuring and restructuring of the question to get the answer you want rather than one that literally answers the exact question you asked.

Assuming though that you actually do just get the answer to the intent and spirit of your question the only rational one I can think of would have to be some variation of:

“What answer could you give me that would offer me the most peace, contentment and sense of resolution to my life?”

Otherwise I’d spend an eternity (or however long I’d have to consider my question) pondering how to ask that question without getting an accurate and correct response like:

“A really good one.”

All you’re arguing is that the web is decentralised, not that any given website within it is.

Perhaps part of the reason they seem… different… to younger generations is related to the fact that there would have been a higher percentage of unwanted pregnancies for their cohort than the ones that followed.

I think you’re the guy I saw over there rambling on about an unfair moderation action then someone pulled the moderation log and it was for saying something like “you can turn any Jew into a Nazi by giving them some land.”

It looks like Kotick will be leaving after the transition so that’s a great start. My dream is that this all somehow leads to the full Overwatch PvE campaign coming back onto the table again (given that their attempts to provide long-term replay ability without doing the work seem to be floundering now, there’s a chance right?)

Sadly that’s unlikely to ever get a remake as noone can agree who owns the rights to do so.

YouTube music seems to hit a perfect blend of stuff you know and stuff you don’t.

YouTube music pays artists slightly less badly than most services fwiw.

Depends whether or not you think most instances should take a stance against the far left. Personally I think the fact people treat Lemmy.ml as a generic all purpose sub rather than focusing that effort onto places like lemmy.world or lemm.ee is pretty messy and will only continue to create more and more issues. As for creating your own instance and defederating, why do that rather than just block their communities as a user if you want to avoid communist groups? Presumably there is a reason you wanted to be part of Beehaw?

What do you mean by /all?

If you mean /all on lemmy.ml, then yeah, it should, it’s what that site is for. If you mean /all on beehaw.org, that is a different /all. You could certainly debate with the beehaw community/admins about whether or not the lemmy.ml memes community belongs there and if the general consensus is that it should stay, you can block the community for yourself. That’s not the same as telling people who are using the community as intended that they are wrong for doing so.

You’re on the memes community for a political instance. If you were complaining about politics in the lemm.ee or lemmy.world meme communities I’d be entirely with you.

Yeah but more importantly, if you go to a website specifically aimed at communists and don’t like all the communism that’s a you problem.

If people who don’t like lemmy.ml’s meme community because it serves lemmy.ml’s community rather than their own personal preferences just hung out at a more generic meme community (like one at lemmy.world or lemm.ee) instead of whinging then that would soon change. You are the architects of your own issues.

You’re not on “Lemmy”. Your a pawb.social user on a Lemmy.ml community. Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy. Lemmy.ml is an Lemmy instance (just like pawb.social.) The purpose of the Lemmy.ml instance is for communists to come together to talk communist shit. The memes community within Lemmy.ml therefore is an absolutely perfect place for them to post left-wing memes. If you want to see memes by and for a general purpose audience then hang out at at Lemmy.world memes community. It’s not Lemmy.ml user’s fault you think they are a general purpose Lemmy instance like Lemmy.world is. That’s your fault and the solution is for you to make an effort to find the spaces that serve your needs not to pick random spaces and tell them they are doing it wrong for not alligning to your incorrect expectations.

Lemmy.ml is fundamentally a communist community. Leave it and join somewhere like Lemmy.world if you want to be part of a community that doesn’t have a political agenda. This energy you are expanding complaining that a social network isn’t meeting your expectations could be more productively spent just checking which ones do and which ones don’t. You might as well be complaining about all the Star Trek memes on the Star Trek Lemmy instance.
